Implementations generally relate to identification of a vehicle for smart patrolling. In some implementations, a method includes detecting a vehicle with a camera. The method further includes capturing a plurality of images of the vehicle. The method further includes determining a plurality of vehicle features from each image of the plurality of images. The method further includes generating a vehicle identification for the vehicle based at least in part on some of the plurality of vehicle features.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A system comprising: one or more processors; and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: detecting a vehicle with a camera; capturing a plurality of images of the vehicle using the camera; determining a plurality of vehicle features of different portions of the vehicle from each image of the plurality of images, wherein the different portions comprise one or more of a body, a roof, a front hood, and a windshield, wherein each vehicle feature comprises one or more characteristics, and wherein at least one of the characteristics comprises texture; computing a vector for each vehicle feature of the plurality of vehicle features; combining the computed vectors into a string of vector numbers; and generating a vehicle identification for the vehicle from the string of vector numbers.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more top-view features.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more side-view features.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more front-view features.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more rear-view features.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the logic when executed is further operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising analyzing one or more vehicle features of the plurality of vehicle features from a plurality of different perspectives, and wherein at least one of the one or more characteristics comprises shape of the vehicle.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more characteristics comprises color of the vehicle.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions when executed by one or more processors are operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: detecting a vehicle with a camera; capturing a plurality of images of the vehicle using the camera; determining a plurality of vehicle features of different portions of the vehicle from each image of the plurality of images, wherein the different portions comprise one or more of a body, a roof, a front hood, and a windshield, wherein each vehicle feature comprises one or more characteristics, and wherein at least one of the characteristics comprises texture; computing a vector for each vehicle feature of the plurality of vehicle features; combining the computed vectors into a string of vector numbers; and generating a vehicle identification for the vehicle from the string of vector numbers.
9. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more top-view features.
10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more side-view features.
11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more front-view features.
12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more rear-view features.
13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the one or more characteristics comprises shape of the vehicle.
14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the one or more characteristics comprises color of the vehicle.
15. A computer-implemented method when executed by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: detecting a vehicle with a camera; capturing a plurality of images of the vehicle using the camera; determining a plurality of vehicle features of different portions of the vehicle from each image of the plurality of images, wherein the different portions comprise one or more of a body, a roof, a front hood, and a windshield, wherein each vehicle feature comprises one or more characteristics, and wherein at least one of the characteristics comprises texture; computing a vector for each vehicle feature of the plurality of vehicle features; combining the computed vectors into a string of vector numbers; and generating a vehicle identification for the vehicle from the string of vector numbers.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more top-view features.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more side-view features.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more front-view features.
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of vehicle features comprises one or more rear-view features.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein at least one of the one or more characteristics comprises shape of the vehicle.
